Dear editor,
With Christmas just around the corner the Anonymous Santa is once again ready to begin his work.
The program is again asking the assistance of our community in providing gifts for children of less fortunate families in Airdrie and surrounding areas. Santa works closely with the Airdrie Canadian Tire store and its customers as well as the In Hot Water Spas store.
Customers at the Canadian Tire store are asked to donate their Canadian Tire money at the checkouts or at the customer service desk. This Canadian Tire money is then used to buy Christmas gifts. The owners of the store, the Peter Miller family have generously made up short falls and their assistance over the years has been tremendous
In Hot Water Spas also helps Santa with their Fill A Tub With Toys program. Customers are asked to donate unwrapped toys that Santa then hands out to needy families so that no child goes without on Christmas morning.
For assistance this Christmas season, families in need can contact Santa directly at 403-948-6892 or by getting in touch with Lori Jacob-Toews at Community Links at 403-948-0263.
Santa wishes the community a very Merry Christmas and a big thank you for your assistance in making every family’s holiday season bright and happy.
Hans Van Biezen, Airdrie
